| If as a user of the module you would like to import a module and make it available | ||
| under a different name within the current namespace you can use ``import as``. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The "[...] you can use ``import as``" part can be confusing since import as is not valid Python.
I'd use the following sentence as a base in Doc/reference/simple_stmts.rst:
* If the module name is followed by :keyword:`as`, then the name
following :keyword:`as` is bound directly to the imported module.

Also, please end the sentence with :: (or add it not the next line):
[...] you can use ``import as``::
>>> import fibo as fib
...or
[...] you can use ``import as``.
::
>>> import fibo as fib

| This is effectively importing the module in the same way that ``import fibo`` | ||
| will do, with the only difference of it being available under a different name. |

It might be better to explicitly say "[...] being available as ``fib``" (you can use different wording -- I just use it as an example) instead of "[...] being available under a different name".

The first import should read from.

Since you ended the previous sentence with "[...] effects:", we can just write
[...] with similar effects::instead of
[...] with similar effects:
